UAB Edged by No. 25 Auburn at Regions Field, 6-4

BIRMINGHAM – The UAB baseball team dropped a highly competitive game to No. 25 Auburn by the score of 6-4 at Regions Field on Tuesday night.
UAB cleanup hitter Christian Hall continued his monster season with a 3-for-4 performance at the plate which included two solo home runs. He is now batting .411 this season.
Both teams tallied nine hits, but Auburn was able to score two runs off of two UAB errors which proved to be the difference in the game.
Auburn scored on a sac fly in the top of the first inning, but the Blazers responded in the bottom half to tie the game at 1-1. After Josh Sears earned a two-out walk, consecutive hits from Hall and Caleb Floyd (RBI) scored Sears from second.
The game remained tied until the top of the fourth when Auburn plated two runs on two hits and was helped out on a throwing error which allowed the first run to score.
UAB threatened in the bottom of the fourth by loading the bases with two outs, but after a tough eight-pitch at bat, John Marc Mullins went down swinging to end the inning.
Hall then drew the Blazers closer in the bottom of the fifth by absolutely crushing his fifth home run of the year over the right field wall. His solo shot made the score 3-2 in favor of Auburn.
The Tigers received a two-RBI double from first baseman Sonny DiChiara in the top of the seventh which gave Auburn a three-run lead at 5-2. DiChiara entered the game batting .461 and was 2-for-5 on the evening.
UAB once again clawed back and loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh. The Blazers got one run back with an RBI fielder's choice by Logan Braunschweig, but that is all UAB would plate to make the score 5-3.
Auburn plated an additional run on UAB's second error of the game in the bottom of the eighth for the game's final run.
Hall's second home run of the game and sixth of the season came in the bottom of the ninth, but that would be the only run as UAB fell 6-4.
The Blazers are on the road this coming weekend for a three game series at Florida Atlantic.
